Design ideas, new items for 2020
Rules for choosing a nail extension method
Tips are plastic overlays that imitate a nail. They are glued onto natural nails with glue and filed along the top to smooth out the joint between the natural nail and the tip. The nail is given the required shape (square/oval/circle, etc.). For better strengthening, the tips are coated with gel or acrylic. Overlays are recommended for use on short nails.
Forms are templates that are fixed under the natural nail for working on an artificial nail. Using special marks on the forms with gel, you can immediately sculpt the required length and shape.
Templates are cardboard with foil, metal or plastic. Templates can be disposable (soft) or reusable (dense). Forms are used on nails with a length of 1-2 mm. The trapezoidal shape of the nail plate also implies extensions on forms.
For wide nails, both extension options are suitable.

Coating features
Gel polish compared to conventional decorative varnishes has a number of significant advantages:
- harmless composition that does not spoil the structure of the nail plate;
- wide range of shades;
- long time of use (up to 3 weeks);
- allows you to implement a variety of nail design ideas;
- has general strengthening properties.
Manicure in pastel colors
Nails painted in natural colors are always popular for women of all ages. The classic design of marigolds does not lose its relevance year after year. Nude nails will look neat and appropriate as an everyday option and as a manicure for festive events.
Nails in beige, almost transparent, tones without glitter are one of the most popular new products in the art of nail art. Most often, lilac, milky, cream and light pink shades are used to design nude nails.
French
An interesting nail design with gel polish can be done using the French technique. Due to its elegance, French manicure is very popular among girls. Nowadays in nail art there is a change in the basic idea of the French coat: coating the nail with pastel-colored varnish and the edge with white varnish. Nowadays, for French manicure, mainly bright colors are used, and the edging is decorated with red, black or golden colors.
Metallic manicure
Decorating your nails with varnishes with a metallic tint always looks very bright and stylish. If the nail is completely covered with such gel polish, then it should not be overloaded with additional accessories in the form of rhinestones, bouillons or appliqués. A nail design in which metallic is used as a painting on the base coat looks very beautiful. Most often, gold and silver varnish is used for these purposes. They decorate the tips of the nails or the area in the growth zone. Such accents allow you to give your nails a luxurious and noble look.
Gradient and ombre
A gradual transition from darker to lighter shades or, conversely, a more contrasting combination of neighboring tones will enliven any manicure, making it the center of everyone's attention. The attractiveness of this nail design lies in the beautiful color combinations formed at the junctions of different shades. When performing a gradient, the main thing is to choose the right colors and not to overdo it with the number of shades, otherwise the manicure will look tacky.
Red gel polish design
Red is one of the most favorite colors among nail art masters. The use of this color in manicure depends not only on the desire of the client, but also on the characteristics of her appearance. For blondes, nail designs in scarlet color along with lipstick of a similar color are suitable. This tandem will make the image sexy and daring.
In general, red polish can be used for a festive manicure or for every day. It is appropriate at any time of the year and allows you to implement a large number of stylish design solutions.
Since the red shade is very bright, before using it on your nails, you should take care of the ideal appearance of your hands. The coating should also be applied very carefully, otherwise any marks will be clearly visible.
Knitted sweater design
This nail design solution is recommended for use in the autumn-winter period. The effect of a knitted product on nails looks very cozy and gentle. The main pattern may resemble Grandma's signature knitted items or a pattern typical of Scandinavian countries.
To create a “knitted” effect, you will need gel polishes without shine in calm tones and powder. Basic tones used by nail art masters to create a “sweater” design:
- lilac;
- mint;
- pale pink;
- white;
- light brown;
- grey.
Ideally, the design on the nails will echo the pattern on the jumper, hat or scarf.
Shimmering manicure
To create this manicure, a special dye is used, which in its shine and color scheme echoes the characteristics of semi-precious stones. On the surface of the nail, the glow appears in the form of a diagonal stripe, which is very reminiscent of the shine of the rim around the pupil of cats.
Lace effect on nails
Lace always looks very elegant and original. Most often, this manicure is used for special occasions: weddings, graduations. Varnishes are chosen in light colors, often white. A fixative is applied over the pattern so that the manicure remains in its original form for as long as possible.
If you want to pamper yourself with a lace manicure for everyday wear, you should choose a wardrobe item with lace details: a blouse, a dress.
negative space design
This English word means an area on the nail that cannot be painted over with varnish. Today, negative space style manicure is one of the most popular. The blank area can be singular or plural, have an abstract shape or concrete outlines (butterfly, heart, etc.), as well as different sizes.
Vintage manicure with craquelure
Craquelure nails resemble an old, cracked surface. The base coat of gel polish and the layer on top may vary in color. This manicure is ideal for lovers of clothes and accessories with a snakeskin effect.
Velvet on nails
To create this design, a gel polish with particles is used, which, after drying, creates a velvet effect on the nail.
Glowing gel polish
This color is suitable for creative people who like to hang out in nightclubs and at friendly parties. Due to the neon pigment contained in the gel polish, such nails will glow beautifully in the dark, reminiscent of a still unexplored and full of secrets outer space.
Manicure with broths
Since small broth beads are very reminiscent of black caviar, this type of manicure is often called caviar. The beads must be the same color as the base coat. Most often they are used to decorate one finger. Caviar manicure is suitable for festive events and for every day.
Framed nail
It has become very fashionable recently to decorate nails in a frame. This is done as follows: the nail is covered with a single-color gel polish, and a strip of a contrasting color is applied around the base coat.
Manicure “broken glass”
It is very easy to make such a design, and the result will be impressive. There are three options for manicure with “broken glass”:
- mosaic;
- “shards” in a chaotic order on a dark background;
- addition of “broken glass” with decorative elements.
The “shards” are created using mica. Plates made of this material will allow you to create an interesting geometric pattern. You can add a festive touch to your manicure with rhinestones, sparkles, and bouillons.
All mica pieces are placed on the nail plate with an orange stick or a wax pencil according to a pre-designed pattern.
After you have had a manicure coated with gel polish, you need to postpone taking a hot shower, visiting steam rooms and saunas for a while. By following this recommendation, your manicure will retain its original appearance for a long time.
Beautiful examples
A nude manicure can be easily made festive with the help of rhinestones. To do this, the nail on the ring finger is completely covered with pebbles, and on the middle fingers, rhinestones can decorate only the hole or form a frame around the nail.
A knitted manicure in white and blue tones is the best option for the cold season.
A French jacket with a black tip, decorated with rhinestones, looks elegant. This manicure will be very suitable for going out in a long, spectacular dress.
A manicure in pink and gold tones with a watercolor effect looks very gentle and elegant.
A manicure with strawberries will help remind you of hot summer. This design is extremely simple to implement. First you need to cover your nails with a rich red color. In the hole area, imitate leaves in two shades of green gel polish. To complete the decor, you need to apply yellow elongated dots to the base.
The “broken glass” effect on nails in black and gold colors will not go unnoticed.
A single-color manicure with white gel polish with an inscription looks very stylish and will be an excellent option for decorating nails for every day.
A light pink moon manicure with hearts using the negative space technique, decorated with rhinestones, looks stunning. It will match any cocktail dress.
An openwork manicure will make any look delicate and sophisticated. This design with gel polish will be appropriate not only at a wedding, but also on warm summer days in combination with dresses and sundresses containing lace details.

Amazing ideas:
Gel polish in the form in which it is now known was first used in 2010. Shellac is a relatively new coating in the field of nail art, but it has already managed to spread around the world and become a favorite of fashionistas. Gel polish looks rich and lasts a long time thanks to the combination of insoluble gel and simple nail polish.
Benefits of gel polish
Gel polish is loved because of its components - polymer compounds. The applied transparent varnishes (base and fixer) harden under UV rays and form a durable film, which allows the coating to stay on the nails for a long time. The process of applying gel polish is long, at least an hour. The coating will not dry on its own in air; an ultraviolet lamp is required.
Advantages of gel polish:
Popular articles:
- The coating lasts 3-4 weeks. This is not the maximum period that gel polish can last, it’s just that the nails grow and the manicure looks ugly;
- Protects from external influences, which is why you don’t have to worry about the varnish breaking off when performing active actions;
- It is possible to create any style that cannot be achieved using simple varnish;
- A strong coating allows you to apply glitter, sequins, rhinestones and other decorations;
- Does not wear off and does not lose its shine;
- The composition does not include formaldehyde and other harmful substances;
- Has no smell.
Removing polish due to its composition is also not so easy; a solvent is applied to the nails, after which the fingers are wrapped in foil.
Girls with thin, flaky nails are not recommended to apply gel polish. This chemical process injures the plate. Even for those who have a hard nail plate structure, professionals advise giving your nails a “rest” after removing the gel coating.
Gel polish is beautiful, practical and durable. Due to its positive qualities, its demand is growing every day. About 70% of women who tried gel polish for the first time later return to it again.
Popular colors and designs
Girls have always strived for beauty. Whether it’s clothes, makeup, hair or nails, everything should be beautiful, so the fashion industry does not stand still and continues to develop.
For every year, for every season, masters come up with new styles and share their ideas with the world. Nail art designers provide a wide variety of styles to decorate your nails. The range of choice is so wide that there is sure to be a design to suit the taste of even the most fastidious fashionista.
It’s impossible to fit all the popular styles into one article, there are so many of them. But among the main ones are:
- Artistic painting;
- Chrome plating;
- Nude style.
It would take a long time to list popular manicure styles using gel polish, because each representative of the fair sex has her own taste. However color scheme does not change much over time:
- Black And white will never go out of fashion, without them almost any nail art is impossible;
- There has never been a year when one of the shades was not fashionable blue color. Popular in 2019: indigo, cobalt, aqua and turquoise;
- Red color - it's passion and sophistication. This year, special preference is given to coral, soft pink and burgundy shades.
But yellow usually used with extreme caution, as it is catchy, bright and mainly suitable for bold, young girls. However, in the year of the Yellow Pig, this color is more relevant than ever.
Fashion is a fickle concept; what is relevant now may not be so next year. It is not uncommon for a trend to come back and become popular again. And it also happens that a style is so relevant that it becomes a classic.
French is considered an all-time classic. Even the simplest version with a soft pink tint and a white stripe on the free edge still looks elegant and sophisticated. The style is very popular among women of any age, so designers have created other variations of French manicure.
Those who prefer bright colors can paint the free edge of the nail with red, orange or any other rich color.
Applying an ornate design or an unusual pattern to the ring finger will diversify the overall look, giving the manicure a unique look.
Another fun solution for creating a French jacket, in addition to colored gel polish, is the use of rhinestones, beads and bouillons. You can also add a hole on one nail and decorate it with rhinestones.
You can diversify your French manicure with multi-colored sparkles and glitter. They can highlight only the edge of the nail or decorate one entire nail.
There was also such a thing as double French. If you are tired of the classic design, then choose bright colors and combine them, applying two layers one after the other. This option is great for the summer season.
Artistic painting
Nail art always looks fun and lively. It is possible to create small artistic masterpieces on the nail plate using a special quick-drying gel polish, sponge and brush.
Girls most often choose flower patterns, but recently there have been images of animals and cartoon characters. Drawings are usually expressed in the same style.
There is a glamorous style that uses pink shades of shellac, rhinestones and bows or hearts. Moreover, the bow and heart can be applied or painted.
Abstract patterns with chaotic lines and spots will add originality to the image, while creating such a manicure is not difficult.
Geometric patterns of squares, triangles and stripes are classic designs that have been painted since ancient times.
Ombre or gradient manicure
The ombre style is in demand in hair coloring, makeup application and nail art. A simple but well-chosen color scheme looks interesting and gentle at the same time.
The transition of shades can be made smooth by sticking to shades of the same color. For example, the flow of blue to a heavenly nuance.
Or you can conquer the people around you with a contrasting riot of colors, which can be compared to the pre-dawn rays.
To make the design original, some girls ask to draw a small design on their ring finger: a flower or a simple pattern. You can also decorate your manicure with rhinestones.
The shading of the ombre transition itself can be vertical or horizontal. A smooth transition can be achieved with a sponge. Gel polish is applied to a porous sponge, after mixing the shades with a toothpick.
Nail art from Tiffany combines tenderness, lightness and simplicity, which is typical for young girls. It is performed mainly in turquoise and blue shades.
You can highlight an already unique style with rhinestones or another color applied to one nail.
Bows and lace are considered decorations of the Tiffany style. You can also find design variations with rhinestones.
The combination of sparkles and rhinestones looks interesting. They can be applied zonally, or you can cover the entire nail. The most relevant option is the one with a hole filled with rhinestones.
Art Deco design was fashionable in the 1920s until the release of The Great Gatsby brought it back to its former popularity. After all, this is the style of the aristocracy of those times.
Glitter, scope, pretentiousness - these are the main characteristics of art deco.
Art Deco manicure is appropriate for holidays, parties and going to the club. The main color of nail art is chosen to be a dark shade, on top of which gold ornaments of geometric shapes are applied. 
Nails do not have to be in strict identical geometry on all fingers. Each nail can be decorated with lines, geometry or spots. Remember that art deco does not like boredom and ordinaryness. 
As an addition, you can use rhinestones, pearls, sparkles and even feathers. This style is not distinguished by restraint in decoration.
Art Deco may not consist entirely of gold and black gel polishes; you can use a nude base and add foil, rhinestones, and sparkles on top. The main thing is to maintain the harmony of stylish luxury.
Boho style combines country and ethnic elements. The design is unique and fun, with a splash of color, which is why it is considered a summer manicure.
Bright ornaments reminiscent of the motifs of ancient tribes lift the mood of the owner of a colorful manicure and the people around her.
Boho style can be done in a more relaxed manner, combining with other styles. For example, you can highlight one or two nails with a pattern, and you can also choose more neutral shades of gel polish.
Nude manicure is also a classic. The style is relevant at all times and is suitable for women of all ages. Lovers of the minimalism trend are happy to choose this design - it is discreet and gentle.
Nude is one of the styles that looks beautiful on both long and short nails.
Nude is universal both for everyday life and for spending a pleasant evening in an expensive dress. A range of pastel colors is selected: beige, pale brown, “dusty” pink and other shades.
Pure gel polish can be diversified by making an ombre. A vertical gradient with a transition from white to beige will look quite unusual.
As a decoration, a small minimalist drawing would be useful. You can choose abstract designs or natural and floral motifs. Rhinestones near the hole will also look beautiful.
New gel polish nail designs 2019
Designers annually create fashion trends and tendencies, thanks to which you can look updated and stylish every season. Fashion spans all categories, including the nail industry.
The Year of the Yellow Pig has its own unsurpassed style, no one will be bored and every woman will be able to choose a design to her taste. Manicure 2019 is characterized by showiness, shimmer and beautiful tints.
The technology for creating the cat's eye effect is loved by many. This is an interesting way to use a special gel polish, in which the color shimmers playfully. It's easy to create, but it requires a special magnet.
The cat's eye looks beautiful and harmonious in blue shades reminiscent of sea waters.
This year, nail technicians are offering to mix several colors of gel polish into a design for a cat’s eye.
Also, the cat eye looks unique and unusual when combined with other techniques. You can diversify your nails with foil patterns.
However, when creating a “universe” you should know when to stop, otherwise you end up with a dirty shade that does not in any way resemble the starry sky or the depths of the ocean.
Matte top is another idea of manicure specialists for the cat's eye technique. The matte finish muffles the color, leaving only faint highlights and a smooth transition of shades.
It is better not to use this design on all nails, but to combine it with the shine of glossy gel polish. Delicate flower designs will be an interesting addition to nails with a matte top.
A clean top will be lost against the glossy background and it will not be possible to immediately appreciate the unique design. Otherwise, you can create a matte effect for all nails.
It’s not for nothing that ombre holds the position of popular nail art. The color combination options are endless. Manicurists offer a wide variety of interesting solutions to embody this style.
This year, fashion dictates to be bright and spectacular, so it becomes important to add a rub into the usual ombre. Powder powder creates a metallic effect and adds shine, which is why the manicure looks interesting and original.
Lovers of dark tones can remain true to their taste preferences and still look stylish. The rub is applied over the gel polish and can be located either in one half of the nail or over the entire plate.
Lovers of the sea and ocean will be happy to know that this year a style that imitates the appearance of aquatic inhabitants is in fashion.
